When you look back on this season at a later date, the defining play of the year for me will be Chuma Okeke’s 3-pointer with 30 seconds left against Georgia that changed the season for Auburn entirely.
Ballgame. Auburn wins 78-75. Chuma Okeke hits a go-ahead 3-pointer with 22 seconds left. Auburn has now beaten Georgia back-to-back years in Athens for the first time since 1979-80. pic.twitter.com/vpWZ1EhRPk
